Staying here was absolutely great. It was only about a one block walk to the downtown. The long trip bus-stop to Milford sound is just across the street.

A supermarket is very nearby to purchase lunch food for trips.
The rooms were very large and attractive. I would rate the hotel as 4 star.
The staff were amazing. Adrianna and Wendy are on work visas from Mexico. They were so helpful with any request, need, or question.
They made staying there a real treat. The whole experience at Central Ridge Boutique Hotel was great. I would stay there again any time I am in Queenstown.

Omg, I enjoyed my stay so so much! I carefully chose this location because it's not in the city but it's not too far from city centre.

It's just an 8-min drive. The restaurant is beautiful as you look out that window, there are snow covered mountains.
I like this boutique hotel so much, there is nothing bad I can say about it, really. The bed was so comfy, soft and there was even an electric Blanket underneath the bed sheet for providing warmth on winter days. the pillows were just as comfy as the mattress.
I didn't use it but there are even spa treatments , squash court and home cinema.
I did use the gym facility, whcih was okay. The machines and quipment were not up to standard, I would say it was basic or too basic. But I still managed to do my workout. It's better than nothing!
I will def come
Back and stay here next time. I just loved it here so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was as nice as the photos which was a nice surprise, the morning buffet dining was on the water, lots of selection, very enjoyable.

Staff were absolutely lovely and went the extra mile. I would definitely book this same accommodation again if I go back to stay in Queenstown, and after researching, I think it is the best value for money I could have got.

Had the lakeside view. Room 423. Wow. Amazing. Some people commented the staff was rude in the past.

We did not find that the case. Very helpful and friendly. The steak in their restaurant was excellent. Only drawback for some may be is its outside the town but as we rented a car. Not a proble for us. Queenstown, how I miss you. Love everything about this town and this hotel.

Handy for town and the lakeside, enjoyed our walk through the park. Supermarket just up the road, practically on our doorstep.

We had no view as we looked out on to another apartment but clever layout of that apartment maintained the occupants privacy. The apartment had everything we needed, even made use of the washing machine.

The hotel is located in Arrowtown, some 10-15 minutes driving from Queenstown, this gives you 2 advantages: it is cheaper than accommodation in Queenstown and you get to see Arrowntown, which is an old gold mining town, it is small and cute :) The hotel is adjacent to a pub, so you need to check in at the pub, which is funny, but cool.

When we arrived, there was a live performance in the pub, so we stayed until late to listen to the music. You can't hear the music in the room, by the way, so it's your choice. Free wi-fi, including inside the pub. Very convenient and not expensive, highly recommended if you need to stop in or around Queenstown.

We had a wonderful stay enjoying 3 nights of peace and quiet. Willowbrook exceeded my expectations. Out in the countryside away from everything.

Yet only 10-15 minutes away to both Queenstown and Arrowtown. The Barn was well laid out, very warm on a winters night and very clean.
We enjoyed it so much, we made use of the self contained facilities and ate our evening meals at the barn. Soaking up the late afternoon sun on the balcony with a glass of wine. Our son who is 9, kept himself busy exploring the grounds, played on the swing and we all had a game of tennis.
In the evening we enjoyed the undercover outdoor spa. Just wonderful!
Thanks :-)

Everything is perfect and the only con (if have to state one) will be a steep slope to climb to reach this place.

Queentown is at 10min walking distance with good choice of restaurants and supermarket. Free parking is avail for 1 lot per unit. We stayed in 3 stories unit with 1st level just a store room and stair, 2nd level are 2 bedrooms + 1 bathroom while level 3 is the kitchen and living room. The view at 3rd level is super (facing Lake Wakatipu) if not is perfect that we wish we can stay longer to enjoy. Staff is very helpful too.

This town is like none other in NZ! The adventure sports capital of the world that can only be compared to Whistler in Canada.

Plethora of things to do, see, eat, drink and enjoy life! Not really a beach town but great for biking, hiking, outdoor and water sports. Great art galleries also and town has a vibe that s hard to top.

We have travelled to Queenstown NZ to ski three times now with our young family and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay each time.

It's a very family-friendly town. The various ski fields are close enough to drive to within 30 minutes to an hour. If the weather is fine, there are other great activities - a really fun and free activity is frisbee golf - an 18-'hole' course is situated in Queenstown's lovely gardens and along the lake. It's a fun way to spend a few hours with the family. Take along a picnic and enjoy lunch in the outdoors.

Queenstown is surrounded by stunning mountains and landscapes. When the summer kicks in and the days are long, you can head out on an excursion and still come back with plenty of time to explore Queenstown and its offerings.

Everything is a quick road trip away, and each trip on the road is accompanied by stunning landscapes.

There are lots of interesting places and activities that you can do in Queenstown. You can lay by the lake shore enjoying sun bath, take a cruise, take jet boat ride, take the gondola up to Queenstown Hill (where you can bungy jump, ride luge, enjoy lunch at the skyline restaurant, or paraglide from there).

I absolutely love Queenstown for the breathtaking wonderful views of the lake, the mountains, the Skyline/Gondola ride/the Luge, wonderful hotels, the wonderful 1912 Earnslaw trip to Walters Peak, just amazing!

Jennings,Australia

A spectacular destination with lots to do/experience. Good food and beautiful scenery with all types of leisure activities, from extreme sport to relaxing boat trips.

If you want to drive anywhere, everything is within close proximity to Queenstown. A truly memorable visit. Need to be careful on where you stay though as we bottomed out in that category.

Very beautiful place that you should visit it once in your life. Here you could try many maximal sports that you can not easily find anywhere else.

What's not to love about a town built in an almost magical location? We didn't have one poor meal in the three days we were there.

Loved the Thai restaurants, the Fergburger, The Find. Yes they may have overdone it with the tourist stuff, but you can ignore it. Do they really need to have a spook house? A 12D(whatever that is?) movie theater? In my opinion, no, but if that's your thing...I would say the most important thing to do is use Queenstown as a homebase and get out and do what you love.
The highlight of the area for us was Milford Sound overnight. You can make arrangements in Queenstown and take a bus if you want. We went with the Real Journey's trip and did it as an overnight. That was awesome! The boats are great, especially the rooms. Do it!

It's such a beautiful city. Awesome view and relax. Highly recommend to stay more than 3 nights and sightseeing the places around such as Milford sound and Arrow Town etc.

Chen,Australia

We stayed only two nights but it wasn't long enough and wished we had booked Four nights, we went on the Earnshaw river boat and visited the farm which was great and we went up in the gondola but there was loads more to do which we didn't have time for.

The 'Adventure capital of the world' they say, and in every respect that statement is true. Be prepared for a huge range of activities.

There never is enough time to do all you want to do in Queenstown, so return trips are always on the cards. The area offers excitement aswell as relaxation. Caters for all. Adventure. Romance. Kids. Peaceful rest. The full life cycle is available in a mountain paradise!

Queenstown is a picturesque NZ city with activities in winter and summer from tours with a fee to lovely walks.

brycki,Australia

Queenstown is so beautiful i will recommend those who visit new zealand to spend at least 3 nights. It's relaxing with breath taking scenery, exciting activities and loads of activities and sightseeing spots.

Chia,Malaysia

Queenstown is fantastic - no wonder people enjoy coming to this town at the bottom of the world. Skiing is accessible within 20 minutes of the town, with no need to bring any gear (everything is rentable).

In addition there is stunning scenery, nature walks, farm activites, water sports, extreme sports (bungy, sky diving etc). Lots to do and to top it all off, the locals are so welcoming!

The town has both combination of shopping and relaxing type facilities. Queenstown has two small casinos for those who wishes to try their luck, ample of shops for souvenirs.

The lake cruise on the on the steam boat TSS Earnslaw was mind blowing, the town has a number of activities suitable for families, youngsters who seek extreme sports or even couples for a romantic getaway. The town has indescribable picturesque scenaries, mountains, rivers, lakes, snow, sun, all elements you would expect in Europe without the need to travel 20 odd hours.

The Queenstown is the best town in south Island which I can say must visit. Very beautiful Wakatipu lake surrounded Queenstown, tons of outdoor activities available.

Sking is popular during winter time, Coronet Peak is very close to Queenstown. stunning lake view with snow covered the mountains. Nearby recommended to visit are arrowtown & cromwell - old town, Mildford sound, Glenorchy- lord of the ring filming location.
